I’ve been watching a lot of Mad Men on Netflix lately, and I’m almost through the first season. It’s pretty cool to see what an ad agency looked like 50 years ago, since things seem to be changing pretty rapidly now. Obviously, drinking and smoking are out at work, but what’s way more interesting is how many upstarts are taking on big name clients. Yes, the old guard is still going strong, but companies like The1stMovement, which was founded in 2006, are tearing it up. They’re based in Pasadena, CA and Denver, CO, and they’ve seen 1,077% three-year growth to $2.3 million in annual revenue. They are a full-service digital advertising agency, and they actually admit to putting a mastery of technology before creativity. Sometimes the medium is more important than the art, and that definitely seems to be the case when it comes interactive advertising.

Join the Movement

The1stMovement offers four categories of services: Strategy, Marketing, Creative, and Technology. All are important individually, but The1stMovement excels when they’re putting it all together. Their clients include names like AT&T, Cisco, G4, Airwalk, E! Online, Nike, and plenty more. They’ve done some really cool stuff for their clients, so I recommend that you check it out to get a better feeling for what The1stMovement is all about. They do a really nice job of showing off what they’ve done and explaining the thought behind it, so it’s worth digging into if you want to work at a company like The1stMovement. Then you should check out their Jobs page. It doesn’t include any specific listings, which is pretty common for interactive agencies—they want you to show your creativity by pitching them on how you can help their team. So do just that, whether you think you can help with Account Management, Design, Web Development, or something else, reach out to them at info@the1stmovement.com and let them know about you.
